Delete Group Policies Manually from a Client system

Manually clear the group policy from the workstation device by following these steps:

1. Delete C:\Windows\security\database\secedit.sdb

2. Delete all files and folders in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Group Policy\History\

3. Open a command prompt and run: gpupdate /force

4. Reboot device

Once rebooted open Trace32 with admin account and connect to the PolicyAgent.log file under c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs – you should see all policies downloading. Also connect to the machine using SCCM Client Center and confirm that advertisements have downloaded correctly.

If the above does not work then you need to remove and reinstall the SCCM agent after a reboot.

Resolving hanging Internet Explorer 7 on VDI XP Virtual Machines

 

PROBLEM:

VM clients with IE7 can have the problem where IE hangs on their VM’s and the only resolution is to end the process through Task Manager.

RESOLUTION:

The solution is to ensure that both the launchpad and Virtual Machine that the client is working on have the same version of Citrix Online Plugin. Tests show that a client who has Citrix Online Plugin 11.2 installed on both the launchpad and VM removes the problem. Software can be upgrade no problem and an uninstall/reinstall is not necessary.

Security Configuration Manager in Windows 2008 R2

Security Configuration Manager is an attack surface reduction tool for Windows Server 2008 SP2.  It determines the minimum functionality required for a server’s role, and disables functionality that is not required.  SCW does the following:

 

·            Disables unneeded services

·            Blocks unused ports

·            Allows further address or security restrictions for ports that are left open

·            Prohibits unnecessary IIS web extensions, if applicable

·            Reduces protocol exposure to server message block (SMB), LanMan, and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

 

NOTE: When using this procedure you must be aware that different options within ‘Security Configuration Manager’ will be required depending on the type of server you are building.  This procedure details the configuration for the OCS EDGE servers only.

 

·            To harden the server, the Security Configuration Wizard (SCW) needs to be run which allows you to create a security policy to be applied.

 

·            Logon to the OCS EDGE server with the local admin account and launch Security Configuration Wizard via Administration Tools.

 

 

·         Select Next (click OK on the Access denied prompt)
